Mustread Wikipedia - External Links Are Now "nofollow"

At Jimbo Wales' directive, all external links within the English language Wikipedia are now coded "nofollow" -- this should help cut spamming immensely once word gets out in the SEO community.

Yeah, that sucks. All those hours spent spamming wikipedia, gone to waste...

Actually I've always thought that the SE's probably already discounted external links from wikipedia to an extent anyway.

What kind of huge effect to you think this can have across the web? I mean Wikipedia is such a huge authoritative site, I bet all of their external links were serving as anchors for lots of other sites, etc..

Yes, external links from wikipedia are/were discounted at some SEs already.

While this might affect SE rankings, a good spam on wikipedia will still get the follow through traffic.

I have dozens of links inside Wikipedia for site which rank very well for their keywords. I'll report back if I notice a drop in SERPS from this change.

thekohser has a spectacular aura about
Centiare to the rescue!

I hope the folks on this message board realize that Wikipedia ([WikiEN-l] Nofollow back on URL links on en.wikipedia.org articles for now) literally wishes death upon anyone who tries to add links for SEO purposes.

But, please don't despair. I am co-developing a new wiki directory called Centiare that is proving to me (and I hope proves to others, soon) that because we're employing semantic tagging, we're actually getting BETTER Google search results than Wikipedia gets. In fact, if you search Google for ..."largest commercial printers" Orlando... you'll discover that "Fidelity Press" comes up #2, thanks to a Centiare page about it. But there's no Wikipedia mention. Why? Because Google actually OMITS the Wikipedia result for "Fidelity Press" as a duplicate, we surmise because it "prefers" the Centiare semweb technology over the page from Wikipedia!

People, stop fighting against the children who run Wikipedia, read this (http://www.sbwire.com/news/view/10157), and this (Centiare:Search Engine Optimization) - Centiare, the free directory, and get your SEO in gear at Centiare. We would WELCOME you -- not figure out ways to ban you.

Should have always been that way. Never really a good reason for those links to pass PR.
